Embracing the Blessings of the Lord in Everyday Life 6-22-26

Although I still like call “North Carolina” home; I love and miss my friends and family, the state of New Jersey has been a tremendous blessing to me in numerous ways.

Greater blessing for the ministry and me; even though Burnett Ministries is still based in North Carolina because I was obeying the voice of God, the territory has enlarged and it feels so good and encouraging to know that the Lord is doing just what He said He would do.  For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20).

These greater blessings came with a price. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution (2 Corinthians 3:12). There has been much suffering and painful situations, but God kept me. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve^[your going out and your coming inform this time forth, and even forevermore (Psalm 121:5-8).

Even though the cost was high, the results caused me to walk in victory, and the reward is greater.  Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.  Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you (Matthew 5:11-12).  

Through it all I learned to lean and depend on Jesus and in trusting Him with my whole being, I am confident of this: Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).

Living out my best days and years despite the opposition! For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries (1 Corinthians 16:9).

Summation- These blessings are not for me only, but also for the others who obey the Lord.

Living out my best days and years despite the opposition! For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries (1 Corinthians 16:9). The devil can never win!

Take away: Quote from Charles Stanley – Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.
